If I set up a router using the 176.10.1.1 how many distinct IP addresses can I access?
You're looking at the wrong numbers. What determines the max is the subnet mask, no matter the address range. So, a /24 gives you 254 usable addresses, etc.. Also, forget about address classes. They've been obsolete for over 30 years.
Now, if you really want to have fun, a LAN on IPv6 will have 18.4 billion, billion addresses available.
Perhaps you might persuade my ISP to get their collective posteriors in gear - - - yes? Regards
